Which side of the plane to sit from Shannon Airport (Shannon) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this route as it offers the best chance to see the iconic Palma Cathedral during the descent and a more scenic view of the French interior and the Catalan coastline.
Irish Midlands
Aerial views of the lush green landscapes of central and southern Ireland shortly after departure.
Loire Valley
Glance down at the winding rivers and historic chateaux of central France.
Massif Central
The rugged, ancient volcanic peaks and plateaus of south-central France.
The Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain.
Barcelona & Costa Brava
Distant views of the Catalan capital and the rugged coastline as you head out over the Mediterranean.
Palma Cathedral
On the standard approach into PMI, the left side often provides a stunning view of 'La Seu' and the harbor.
Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees and the Mallorca coastline. On evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun over the Atlantic, providing clearer views of the French landscape and the lights of Palma.
Atlantic Coastline
Views of the Shannon Estuary and the southern Irish coast as the plane turns south.
Bay of Biscay Islands
Spot islands like รle de Rรฉ and รle d'Olรฉron off the western coast of France.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Fly over the world-famous wine regions of southwestern France near the Garonne River.
Western Pyrenees
Views of the greener, rolling peaks on the western end of the mountain range.
Serra de Tramuntana
The dramatic UNESCO World Heritage mountain range that runs along the northwest coast of Mallorca.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Mediterranean. It offers the best views of the rugged Mallorcan mountains during the initial descent phase. Try to sit in the first few rows or the very back to avoid the wing blocking the view of the French Atlantic coastline.
